The NorCal Longshots Scholastic Clays Target Team was established to teach and allow children to participate in a supervised shooting sports program. Members are taught by Certified Shotgun Coaches with an emphasis on gun safety and skill development in clay target shooting. The learning environment at team practices and at competitive events is designed to be positive, safe and fun for all participants. Participants are required to demonstrate good sportsmanship, individual responsibility, self-discipline, positive academic progress and personal commitment in order to be members of the NorCal Longshots team. Membership is open to both boys and girls of all ages who live in the greater northern California area.

The NorCal Longshots organization is established under the umbrella of the Scholastic Clay Target Program and the California Youth Shooting Sports Association.
